Chapter 961: Chapter 961: Earth-Level Mission, Campaign Against the Demon Sect

"Tu Lin, fifteen years old, Qi Gathering Layer VI, native of Day Bright Country, second-generation disciple of Qingfeng Temple, currently cultivating in Xinmao City..."

The woman swiftly wrote down Tu Lin’s identity details on the paper. As the last stroke was completed, the paper inexplicably ignited, burning into two streaks of flame; one vanished into the void, while the other directly entered Tu Lin’s consciousness body!

At the same time, Fan Rongrong noticed an extra hundred bronze coins in her sleeve and showed a hint of joy, once again bowing to the woman with Tu Lin.

"Alright! From now on, you are one of our spiritual land’s cultivators. If you want to earn Dreamland Coins, you can pick a task to do in the main hall outside, but remember to act within your capabilities." The woman’s demeanor was lazy, and after casually advising Tu Lin for a few moments, she lay back down on the desk.

Just as the two were about to take their leave, another extraordinary woman entered the side hall.

Seeing this, Fan Rongrong’s eyes turned, pulling Tu Lin aside and not rushing to leave immediately!

"Little Qingning, if you don’t change your lazy nature, I’m afraid even in ten years you won’t form a Golden Core. By then, your senior uncle the Law Master will blame me for not teaching well." The newly arrived woman glanced at Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong, thinking they still had something to discuss, so she didn’t rush them out.

The lazy woman, hearing the familiar voice, immediately sat up straight, pretending to be diligently handling affairs. After a while, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Master, what brings you here? I just finished registering this young Taoist’s identity information and was about to help him select a suitable task."

The woman referred to as "Little Qingning" was Yu Qingning, the reincarnation of Lady Yu’s remnant soul. Over the years, she had grown up and advanced to the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.

And her Master, naturally, was Shen Mo’s sworn sister, Ming Yu, the master of Ascending Lake!

"I have important matters to discuss; you first help this young Taoist choose a task, and I’ll talk with you later." Ming Yu sat down in a chair, and with a slight flicker of thought, spiritual tea and fruits appeared before her.

Yu Qingning sighed languidly, putting her hand on her forehead. After a moment of sensory focus, she plucked a page from the void and handed it to Tu Lin: "The tasks recorded on this page are more suitable for your current cultivation, and the rewards are substantial. Have a look; if you’re satisfied, let me know. If not, you can go inside the main hall and choose one yourself!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Tu Lin quickly took the paper, discussed softly with Fan Rongrong, and picked a task to clean roads within Xinmao City.

Since he was recovering from serious injuries and couldn’t do strenuous work, and the demonic sect Wuji Palace might be watching outside the city, he dared not leave the city easily; this task was relatively suitable!

With this, Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong felt they shouldn’t stay any longer, and after saluting to the master and disciple, they left the side hall.

After they left, Yu Qingning wrapped her arms around Ming Yu’s neck from behind, indulging in a playful display of affection that amused Ming Yu, who then sat down with a smile.

"Back to business, currently how many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are there in Xinmao City, and how many are willing to carry out tasks involving same-level combats?"

Yu Qingning’s expression immediately turned serious. After a moment of sensory focus, she replied, "There are currently eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the city, six in the early-stage, and one each in the middle and late-stages. As long as the targets are not their fellow sect members or family, they should be willing to accept such tasks for enough coins. Master, have some ignorant indigenous strongmen offended us again?"

"Indeed!" Ming Yu sipped her spiritual tea slowly, but a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "Just two hours ago, the major demonic sect Wuji Palace attacked a Spirit Stone vein within the Xuanyin Country, and over three hundred spiritual land cultivators from Bingzi City perished without exception. Deputy Sect Master Situ Huo heard about this and has personally gone to Bingzi City. He ordered all Nascent Soul cultivators from Xinmao, Renzhen, and Yiwei Cities to gather at Bingzi City to march against Wuji Palace!"

"Wuji Palace... it seems that the Qingfeng Temple, from which that young Taoist came, was completely destroyed by this sect." Yu Qingning murmured.

"Hm?"

"Nothing, I’ll write the task details now."

Immediately, Yu Qingning picked up another page and wrote down the relevant details, then handed it to Ming Yu.

Ming Yu reviewed it, and with a flicker of thought, the paper burned to nothing, the flames vanishing into the void!

The next instant, in the main hall outside, the task list lit up with a new, blood-red and striking piece of information. ℴℴ𝘮

...

"Young Taoist, look quickly, there’s a ground-level task released. This is a rare big event!" Fan Rongrong, still choosing a task in the main hall, called Tu Lin over excitedly when she saw the update.

"Rongrong, what is a ground-level task? Why can I only see a sheet of red without any specific details?"

Fan Rongrong, looking quite excited as if someone else’s misfortune was none of her business, explained to Tu Lin with a smile, "The tasks of the spiritual land are divided into eight tiers: ’Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, Universe, and Wilderness.’"

"Your task of cleaning city roads is the second-to-last Wilderness level task, not dangerous but it consumes a lot of mana, and cultivators at the Body Tempering Realm, having little mana, can’t do it. Ground-level tasks generally are only taken by Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and they are risky, likely involving exploring treacherous relics or slaying Nascent Soul Realm demon heads."

"You’re right not to see it. For confidentiality, only True Masters can see the content!"

"Anyway, since the establishment of Xinmao City, there has been only one ground-level task issued. Although risky, the task rewards are exceptionally generous! Normally, even those Nascent Soul True Masters can only do mystic and yellow-level tasks, so this time there’s sure to be a spectacle."

As Fan Rongrong said, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from Xinmao City received the message and soon arrived at the main hall, faces showing astonishment after reading the task contents, returning quickly to the real world.

As time passed, new information spread.

Not only Xinmao City but also Bingzi, Renzhen, Yiwei Cities, among others, issued this task consecutively, making it clear that the entire Dragon Claw Realm’s situation would undergo a dramatic transformation!

Several days later.

Mr. and Mrs. Fan, who were on a task to alter river paths, returned to Xinmao City and brought Tu Lin a great piece of news.

"Wuji Palace seized a Spirit Stone vein in Bingzi City of the spiritual land and killed over three hundred mining cultivators. The Divine Bridge Immortal Master of the spiritual land led dozens of Nascent Soul True Masters to storm the Wuji Palace gates, aiming to make a decisive example and uproot the sect?"

Upon hearing this news, Tu Lin was utterly bewildered.
